  I picked up this book about fungi from a recent HN comment: "Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures" by Merlin Sheldrake https://www.amazon.com/Entangled-Life-Worlds-Change-Futures/dp/0525510311 https://www.amazon.com/Entangled-Life-Worlds-Change-Futures/... I'm happy to pass along that recommendation. I had no idea that fungi were so interesting. The book takes some detours into panspermia theory that I found a little boring. There was also some pacing issues in many places. However, the interesting part about fungal life was so good that I would still recommend it.

  This is what I have planned for dinner with a slice of bread. Miam miam. There are cheeses that are matured by live insect larvae such as Casu marzu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_marzu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_marzu Edit: replace article in French by one in English.
